America is also _big_, which I think also contributes here. It isn't unusual for family members to move away within America but be far enough that frequent face-to-face interaction isn't possible.
- BurningFrog 7y agoBut moving away is a choice to abandon your family.
- mocha_nate 7y ago“abandon” is an interesting word choice. Moving isn’t always about moving away from something, sometimes it’s about moving towards a happy prospect. Your family could respect the action.
- BurningFrog 7y agoYeah, I shouldn't have used such a loaded word.
- FiddlerClamp 7y agoSometimes moving away is abandoning your family...or burdening one family member with having to care for elderly parents when nobody else is available.
